Bible Reading Plan | North Trenholm Baptist Church

North Trenholm is a church committed to

KNOWING THE WORD of GOD

For years, most of us struggle to find a good rhythm for reading the Bible. We hope that this resource will be a way for you to find that rhythm as you read alongside your church family through this year.

Right now our reading plan is available via hard copies in the Welcome Center or by clicking HERE. Coming soon we will have an app that you'll be able to use as well as a way to sign up to have the content emailed to you on a daily basis.

In addition to reading the Bible through with your church family, we have provided a year's worth of scripture memory verses that we can all memorize together. You can find that HERE, or hard copies are available in the Welcome Center.

How to Keep Your Reading Plan

Forgive Missed Days!

This is the THE key for forming the habit of reading through the Bible on a reading plan: personal forgiveness for missing days.

You are right because of God's verdict, not your reading plan allegiance.

Your justification is from Christ through trusting him. Not through reading every chapter in your Bible reading plan. A broken man can read from his Bible reading plan 1 day, and miss 5, and consider it God's grace that he read it one day. A proud man beats himself up for missing 3 days, and then quits his plan or doubles up his resolution and seeks to accomplish his goals in the flesh. Be the broken man and keep going.

There's nothing wrong with skipping yesterday's chapters.

Acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with reading Genesis 12, 13, 14... missing 4 days... and then reading Genesis 20, 21, 22 without knowing what happens in between. Wouldn't you have just otherwise just opened the Bible to a place randomly without reading the preceding chapters anyway?

If you must know what happens, scan the section headings for a summary.

Don't worry: If you stay on a reading plan, you'll eventually read those skipped chapters.

Summary: no matter how many days you've missed, just start with today's reading. That's so much better than stressing out over how many days you've missed.
